SOHYANG & POS

You can purchase 1~4 books right now at http://ridibooks.com/

SoHyang wrote a note to her fans to let know that her new fantasy novel 아낙사이온(Anaxion?) is released.
She also said she has been doing very well because of her fans' support and prayers.
Her new novel is released as digital format within hours and it will be different with her former novel Crystal Castle.
I've heard little things about her novel, I wonder what it will be really like.
Can't wait to read them!

Now they just made a news article about Immortal Songs to be recorded next Monday.
So I can share more information.
The episode is about 'Friend' and she will have a duet.(It's like Duet Special)
She has sooooo many talented friends so her fans wondered who would be this time.
This time she is performing with JK Kim Dong Wook(JK 김동욱)!
He has very warm and manly low voice.
I once saw him singing 'When I Dream' in person when I went to Immortal Songs that SoHyang performed 'Bridge Over Troubled Water' and I really liked his emotional low voice.

Back in 2013, SoHyang and he already had a duet of 'A L:ove Until The End Of Time' at KBS Open Concert.
And They also had a concert together in Sydney in 2014.
JK Kim Dong Wook also was one of the final 7 of I Am A Singer2.


By the way, SoHyang has done duets with great vocalists like Sumi Jo, Michael Bolton, Kirk Franklin, Park Wan Kyu, Lee Young Hyun etc.

Several hours ago, SoHyang performed anthems of USA and Korea at Globe Life Park in Arlington for MLB.

I'm so sure many people were surprised by her big resonant voice :-)
She went to the States to sing anthems and she has to come back to Korea soon for KBS Open Concert next week.

There was a showcase of the project 'United Korea' album and SoHyang appeared.
(Soprano Shin Yeong-Ok and Park WanKyu also came)
She performed her new song 'We Believe' and then had a Q&A time with reporters(there were soooooo many reporters)
and also had phototime.

Her song 'We Believe' is a ballad song that starts with her warm and mid-low voice but it goes really really high in chorus part
and those high notes are like endless.. nevertheless she sang it live perfectly.

She is very close with Ko HyungWon who produced this project and they have talked about Reunion of Koreas for long time, so she attended in the project. and she also said she thinks they can comfort people in North Korea by music and she wishes someday they can have a concert in North Korea together.

Ko HyungWon has made songs for her like 'Until The Lord Comes Back(주님 다시 오실 때까지)', 'Maranatha(마라나타)',
'Eternal Friend(영원한 친구)', 'The Hope Of The Nations(열방의 소망)' and 'Shelter(피난처)'.
I think he trusts her ability and makes those very difficult songs for her... (Actually other produces do too lol)

The lyrics is like

"We believe that new day is coming to this land.
That day when the people in white clothes will sing together under the blue sky.
We believe the day when this lands become one.
Brothers of North and South sweat and open a way to tomorrow together.

Oh We believe that new world will open before us when we open our hearts to one another.
In korean peninsula that suffered that long time,
The beautiful sky that we dreamed of so much will open."

Now she is coming to The States to sing American Anthem and Korean Anthem for MLB.

Yes! Finally this song is coming out!!
Ko HyungWon is very talented producer and faithful missionary, He has made a lot of songs for SoHyang and they are very popular gospel songs. Especially 'Until the Lord Comes Back' and 'Maranatha' are mega hit gospel songs which are sung by foreigners in their own languages. He wrote an another song for the project 'United Korea' for reunion of two Korea and the song is called 'We Believe(우린 믿어요)'.
It was recorded last year but somehow it was delivered and it will be revealed next week, and the album will be released on 1st of next month.
I heard this song was really difficult song.
I'm expecting a song with big scale.

A lot of K-pop singers are included in this project like Jeon In-Kwon(original singer of 'It's my only world그것만이 내 세상),
Jung Dong-Ha, Ivy, Park Wan-Kyu, SunYe(Wonder Girls former member), Insooni, Song SoHee etc...

Next week, there will be an event for this project and SoHyang will attend. She may perform that song.

Yesterday, SoHyang performed at KBS Open Concert and it was first recording of the show in 2016.
She came out in braided hair and blue long slit dress with unique flower patterns, and she reminded me of Elsa of Frozen.

She sang 'Power Of Love' then she performed with Jung Dong-ha together.
They sang 'Beauty and The Beast' which she performed with Park Wan-Kyu at I Am A Singer2 Special Stage 

but this version was different version.

Jung Dong-Ha who is very close with SoHyang had said he wanted to do a collaboration with her in his interview.
He said

'I also want to work with SoHyang nuna*, In fact, she is scary a little.. Isn't she too good? She's not like a human.'

*Nuna means older sister in Korean and when it's used for non-family member, it's very friendly expression.

SoHyang also visited his showcase before.
Anyway, His dream came true yesterday.

I don't know when it will broadcast yet.
They usually let people know about the date before the show starts, but they didn't yesterday.
